Geology (B.S.)

Geology is the study of the Earth, including its physical components, processes, and history. The Geology major prepares a student for a position in industry, government, or for graduate studies requiring a background in earth sciences. A minor in Geology is available and can be useful for students majoring in disciplines that deal with earth processes in a scientific sense (e.g., chemistry, biology) or from a policy standpoint (e.g., business, economics, political science).
